DIRECTIONS 

FOR   USING   THIS  CIPHER  CODE. 


In  order  to  prevent  mistakes  by  telegraph  operators,  it  is  best,  in  writ- 
ing messages,  to  besjin  every  cipher  word  with  a  capital  letter,  and  to 
leave  a  little  space  between  each  cipher. 

When  it  is  necessary  to  telegraph  in  ordinary  language,  and  there  is 
fear  of  its  being  misunderstood,  begin  that  part  of  the  message  which 
it  is  desired  should  be  read  literally,  with  the  cipher  word  "Rigor," 
which  will  be  found  on  page  170. 

Words  to  fill  blanks  in  sentences  must  be  placed  in  the  order  in  which 
they  should  be  read,  immediately  after  the  ciphers  for  such  sentences, 
oxcept  where  the  sentences  begin  with  a  blank.  In  that  case,  the  word 
for  the  blank  will  immediately  precede  the  cipher  for  the  sentence. 

All  quotations  for  "Future  Delivery  Contracts"  sold  in  New  York, 
are  for  basis  of  "Middling  Uplands,  American  Standard  classification, 
any  grade  from  Strict  Ordinary  to  Fair,  inclusive." 

Orders  to  buy  or  sell  will  be  understood  to  be  for  account  of  the 
sender,  unless  otherwise  stated. 

In  reports  of  purchases  or  sales,  "for  your  account,"  will  be  under- 
stood, unless  otherwise  expressed. 

Sterling  Bills  will  always  be  understood  to  be  drawn  at  60  days'  sight, 
and  Domestic  diafts  at  sight,  unless  otherwise  stated. 

All  orders  sent  by  this  Code  to  buy  or  sell  for  Future  Delivery  in  New 
York,  will  be  with  the  distinct  understanding  that  the  purchases  or  sales 
so  ordered  are  to  be,  in  every  respect,  subject  to  the  By-Laws  and  Rules 
of  the  New  York  Cotton  Exchange  relating  to  contracts  for  the  Future 
Delivery  of  Cotton,  and  their  settlement. 

To  express  a  price  or  quantity  for  which  there  is  no  "cipher"  in  the 
Tables  of  Numerals,  use  two  or  more  "ciphers,"  the  sum  of  which  will 
express  the  desired  amount ;  for  example — "  Bombast,  Blood  "  will  be 
read  "5771." 

To  qualify  quotations  or  estimates,  use  the  Table  on  Page  1 2,  in  con- 
nection with  the  Table  of  Numerals  ;  example — "  10  to  10%  "  will  be  ex- 
pressed by  the  cipher  words  "  Aloft,  Bravery."

The  import  now  landing  in  Liverpool  is  large  ; 

hence  the  weakness  of  that  market. 
The  large  quantity  of  Cotton  now  landing,  and 

about  due  at  Liverpool,  has  caused  the  de- 

cline and  depression  there. 

We  would  discourage  speculation  at  present 

prices. 
From  indications  around  us,  we  advise  selling 

at  the  best  price  obtainable,  as  we  think  we 

will    be  able   to   replace  to  advantage  after 

awhile,  should  you  desire  to  do  so. 
We   think   it    safe   to  sell   at   present   prices. 

although   the   market   may  go   temporarily 

higher. 
We  think  increased  crop  estimates  will  soon  be 

current,  causing  a  decline. 
Will  not  improve  until  our  stock  is  worked  off 

a  little. 
Stocks  at  U.  S.  ports  must  be  reduced  before 

the  market  can  improve  permanently. 
There  are  too  many  weak  holders  for  the  mar- 

ket to  improve. 
Market  will  be  lower  if  crop  accounts  continue 

favorable. 
Market  may  continue   to  droop  until  leceiptt 

fall  off. 
Market  may  continue  to  droop  until  India  ship 

ments  fall  off.

We  think  the  effect  of  delivery  notices  has  beet 
already  discounted,  and  their  actual  circula- 
tion will  not  sensibly  affect  the  market. 

We  do  not  think  the  circulation  of  daliverv 
notices  will  cause  any  decline. 

we  do  not  think  the  delivery  notices  will  cause 
any  decline,  except  possibly  in  the  deliveries 
for  the  month  for  which  the  notices  are  issued. 

The  notices  for  delivery  may  cause  some  decline 
in  the  early  months. 

We  think  the  effect  of  th<?  circulation  of  delivery 
notices  will  be  to  break  t]xe  market. 

If  many  notices  for  delivery  are  issued,  we  an 
ticipate  a  heavy  decline. 

We  think  the  effect  of  delivery  notices  will  be 
to  cause  a  temporary  decline. 

The  circulation  of  notices  for  delivery  will  prob 
ably  cause  the  market  to  decline. 

If  the  number  of  delivery  notices  should  be  less 
than  expected,  the  market  will  probably  ad- 
rance. 

In  consequence  of  the  strength  of  spot  Cotton, 
we  think  the  market  will  advance,  notwith- 
standing the  circulation  of  delivery  notices. 

We  think  the  circulation  of  delivery  notices 
will  not  prevent  an  advance. 

The  attempt  to  corner  the  market  is  losing  lie 
influence  on  prices.

abandoned.

ton  Exchange  are  for  45,000  Ibs.  of  Ameri- 
can Cotton,  in  about  100  bales,  of  any  grades 
from  Strict  Ordinary  to  Fair, inclusive  ;  de- 
livery to  be  made  at  seller's  option,  any  day 
from  first  to  last  day  of  the  month  covered 
by  the  contract,  upon  giving  5  days'  notice 
to  the  buyer.  Cotton  can  be  delivered  from 
dock  or  warehouse,  and,  if  desired,  the  con- 
tract can  be  filled  by  two  deliveries  of  50 
bales  each,  at  different  dates,  provided  5 
days'  notice  is  given  previous  to  each  deliv 
ery.  The  contract  price  is  on  the  basis  of 
Middling  Uplands,  American  classification  ; 
allowances  and  additions  for  grades  below 
or  above  Middling  to  be  adjusted  according 
to  the  differences  fixed  by  the  New-York 
Cotton  Exchange  for  like  grades  on  the  day 
of  delivery.  As  the  contract  calls  for  "  Up- 
lands," no  addition  is  made  to  the*  price, 
should  Cotton  of  better  staple  be  delivered.
